Could a Windows browser based on KHTML be on the horizon?

While it won’t exactly be Safari, a web browser utilizing Apple’s WebCore framework might be running on Windows some day. Crazy stuff…

I think Textile is a good idea. By that I mean I think creating easy to use text formatting rules is a good idea.

So this weekend I worked on implementing some of the ideas into a tool I’m working on. So far I’ve got the basics of paragraphs, blockquotes, headings, bold (strong) and italic (emphasis) working. I probably would have gotten more done if I hadn’t been double processing the text for 20 minutes. Argh…

At a minimum, I still need to get numeric and bulleted lists working. The other stuff is nice but not critical. Yet.

Of course mine is ugly-hacked perl code, not any sort of elegant well-designed, well-thought out masterpiece. That’s ok for now. That might even be ok for the future. We’ll see won’t we? Hmmm?

According to Apple Safari has been downloaded more than 500,000 times.

Since Tuesday.

Now that’s what I call a niche!

Philip Schiller says Mac users have gone wild over Safari. In reality I’d say Mac users, and web developers, are curious about Safari.

And I don’t think having Google search capabilities integrated directly into the toolbar is an innovative feature. I’ve been able to do this in Mozilla for a long time.

Well, it is a press release, so I’ll cut them some slack.

I sure do like that rendezvous aware feature though…

mod_rendezvous rocks…

Up and running in less time that it took to download it. And it gets a big plus for being from the home state…

People keep saying Safari is the fastest browser on Mac OS X. I’ve heard at least one person say that Apple wants it to be the fastest browser in the world. I believe Opera thinks they have the fastest browser in the world. I’m assuming they are all refering to a ‘web browser’ and in fact, I’d go further and say I’m assuming they mean ‘graphical web browser’ because last time I checked Lynx still smokes ’em all in speed tests…
